My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 400: 340: Not a Single Scum to be Spared from Torture

Translator: 549690339

Song Zhizhi stepped into the position of General Manager of the Planning Department amidst warm welcomes, a significant leap up the ladder, some might say a blessing born from a misfortune.

Ye Wenhan’s series of actions towards Song Zhizhi were exaggerated by the media and broadcasted on the news, stirring a wave of praise for Ye Wenhan’s admirable character. As the helmsman of Commercial Management, his ability to lay down his status and admit his mistakes was heralded as something the entire nation should learn from.

There were, after all, a lot of online trolls.

Song Zhizhi sat in her office, scrolling through the news on her phone. She had anticipated this outcome and was thus unfazed by the developments.

She put down her phone, picked up her desk phone, and said, “Ask assistant Zhang He to come in.”

“Yes, Director Song,” the secretary replied respectfully.

Soon enough, Zhang He, trembling with fear, appeared in the office.

Zhang He had been scared ever since the sentencing. She had met Li Sheng, whose ashen face and body covered in bruises truly terrified her. Li Sheng spoke of the horrors in prison, of places infested with rats, of cellmates who would hit her, curse her, and make her scrub the toilets. She wasn’t even able to sleep in a bed…

Hence, when she saw Song Zhizhi today, she was already wound tight with anxiety!

Her voice trembled as she spoke, “D-director Song, you wanted to see me?”

Song Zhizhi stared at her, a sharp edge in her gaze.

Zhang He dared not speak.

Song Zhizhi slowly began, “I heard that you gave this contract to Xin Zaozao?”

Song Zhizhi took out the contract that Zhang He had given Xin Zaozao.

Zhang He pulled herself together as her legs wobbled beneath her. She spoke in a rush, “Director Song, I had no choice. I was forced into this. Li Sheng threatened me constantly, using Manager Chu as leverage.”

“One Chu Qin is enough to threaten you?” Song Zhizhi asked, her eyebrows raised.

“Yes, yes…”

“Or is there someone else?!” Song Zhizhi asked, an icy note in her voice.

Zhang He was shaking, unable to stay calm as she thought of Li Sheng’s current predicament. She felt like she was on the verge of a breakdown. “Please spare me, Director Song,” she pleaded. “I was only trying to protect myself, I had no other choice…”

“Did Ye Wenhan also threaten you?” Song Zhizhi asked, pausing for emphasis after every word.

Zhang He’s body shivered once, then she slowly nodded.

“What benefits did they promise you?” Song Zhizhi asked, her voice languid.

Zhang He remained silent.

“Let’s cut to the chase; do you have any evidence that Ye Wenhan threatened you?”

“No, I do not,” Zhang He swiftly shook her head. “I don’t have anything. How could I possibly have any evidence? I am just an insignificant person. They never revealed too much to me. They just instructed me to pass on this contract if anyone came asking. Then, all I had to do was claim in court that you and Li Sheng were close. I don’t know anything else!”

“Are you sure?” Song Zhizhi asked.

“I swear I am not lying,” Zhang He intertwined her words with sobs.

She truly did not want to be imprisoned!

“Alright, I understand. You may leave now,” said Song Zhizhi.

“Director Song…” Zhang He gazed at her, hopeful.

Was it just these simple questions? Was that all?

She thought that at least, Song Zhizhi would do something to her, if not slap her as payback.

But the reality was far from it.

The truth was she was merely overthinking.

Song Zhizhi did not have the propensity to do anything to her, would she really fire her without reason? Moreover, Zhang He hadn’t perjured herself in court; she said that Song Zhizhi and Li Sheng were close, which in fact they were, everyone knew this. As for the contract, it had never been brought up in court. Mr. Ye even had asked her, whether she really gave that contract to Xin Zaozao. She was puzzled why it didn’t appear in court, was something wrong with it?

All in all, no matter what, at least the fake contract didn’t show up in court, Song Zhizhi wouldn’t find any evidence that she perjured herself.

With that in mind, she felt an instant sense of relief.

“Then I’ll leave,” Zhang He approached timidly.

Song Zhizhi nodded.

Zhang He turned to leave.

Once she stepped out of Song Zhizhi’s office, Zhang He’s expression entirely changed. She was initially trembling when she walked in, yet at this moment, she was unable to conceal her excitement. Anyone who saw her could clearly see the jubilation on her face, as if she had just been praised by a superior.

Song Zhizhi watched Zhang He’s back recede, then turned her attention to her computer screen.

She didn’t need to do anything to Zhang He herself, but no dregs that deserve punishment can be spared; someone else will deal with Zhang He.

Which brings us to Ye Wenhan’s office at this very moment.

Ye Wenhan’s assistant respectfully appeared before him, “Zhang He just came out from Song Zhizhi’s office.”

“Do you know what they were talking about?” asked Ye Wenhan coldly.

“I don’t know, but Zhang He seemed to be in a good mood when she left,” the assistant reported.

“Find a reason and fire Zhang He.”

“Yes, sir.”

Ye Wenhan firmly said, “Let her pay and get out.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Justify it, don’t make it seem like we at Commercial Management can just fire anyone we want!”

“Yes, sir.”

“You can leave now.”

The assistant left.

Ye Wenhan’s face turned cold.

He didn’t fear what Zhang He might have told Song Zhizhi, since with Zhang He’s intelligence, she couldn’t have any evidence against him. He was just a little unsure about what Song Zhizhi was planning to do. Knowing Song Zhizhi’s intelligence, she must have known that Zhang He was on his side. Since she wouldn’t use Zhang He anymore, there’s no use keeping her around!

Furthermore, he still didn’t understand why Xin Zaozao didn’t use the demolition agreement as evidence in making a case for Song Zhizhi in court. If she had, Song Zhizhi would have another charge against her, but in the end, she didn’t use it! He was even beginning to suspect that Zhang He had deliberately tampered with something!

He would never show mercy to such a dubious and useless woman!

So, on the third day.

Zhang He received a notice of termination.

At that time, Zhang He was discussing the year-end evaluation with her colleagues.

Everyone felt that Zhang He should have no problem achieving excellence this year since she had performed well regularly and had been valued by the leadership recently. By winning the evaluation this year, she is bound for a promotion next year, definitely.

Although Zhang He kept declining verbally, she was convinced in her heart that she would achieve a good result this year.

Especially considering the fact that she was Ye Wenhan’s woman in private, regardless of how things turned out, she always felt different from the ordinary employees. She had done things for the head of Commercial Management, she felt superior and was always feeling thrilled about it.

Zhang He’s direct supervisor, Yong Meng, appeared before her with a stern look, “Zhang He, come with me.”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Zhang He promptly grabbed her notebook and headed to the supervisor’s office.

Other colleagues laughed, “Zhang He, are they talking about the evaluation?”

Zhang He modestly brushed it off and went to Yong Meng’s office.

Yong Meng’s face was very solemn as he threw a file forcefully on the table in front of Zhang He.

Zhang He picked it up in surprise.

Looking at the land bidding document she had prepared two days ago, she asked, “Manager Yong, what’s wrong?”

“Take a closer look!”

Zhang He looked carefully but found nothing wrong.

“What, you don’t see it?” Yong Meng’s voice was loud.

Because the door was not closed, all the colleagues outside could hear Yong Meng’s voice. As they dared not gossip directly, many colleagues started to listen carefully.

“I really don’t see anything, I don’t know why you would get so angry,” Zhang He’s tone was not friendly either.

Although she was just a little assistant in the planning department, she always felt that her status was different from others. After all, she was Mr. Ye of Commercial Management’s woman.

“The amount in the tender!” said Yong Meng fiercely, “you missed a zero!”

Zhang He was astonished.

She looked at the contract amount in surprise. It clearly stated 200 million. She remembered writing 200 million. How could it have turned into 20 million?!

That’s impossible!

She was certain that she wrote 200 million on the original data on her computer, she remembered very clearly!

“Manager Yong, I couldn’t have made such a low-level mistake. I always double-check when I prepare contracts, there must be a problem somewhere… ”

“I don’t care what problem you had, I have to explain this to the higher-ups! The tender has already been put up for bidding, and many enterprises and institutions have started to register for the bidding. The impact is very bad. We are going through legal procedures to make changes! Zhang He, I just took office and you made such a mistake. Are you trying to make my life miserable?”

“Are you making a mountain out of a molehill, Manager Yong? I keep telling you there must be a problem, aren’t you going to investigate?”

“Investigate?! The contract that I received from you, with the official seal on it, was this one. I don’t need to investigate! Enough words, from today on, you are fired by Commercial Management. As it was your own fault that caused losses to Commercial Management, we will not provide you with any unemployment compensation. Get out of here now!”

Zhang He couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

She stared at Yong Meng in anger, “What right do you have to fire me! On what grounds are you firing me!”

“The reason is I am your boss! The HR department has started your dismissal procedure. Go and complete the handover process with them. Get out of here!”

Zhang He’s face looked terrible, she said, “Yong Meng, you’ll regret treating me this way!”

Yong Meng snorted, unmoved.

Zhang He left in anger.

She didn’t believe that Mr. Ye wouldn’t stand up for her.

With all eyes on her in the large office, she left and went directly to Ye Wenhan’s floor.

Zhang He was informed that Ye Wenhan wasn’t in, he had just left.

Zhang He quickly pressed the elevator button, spotted Ye Wenhan and his group in the Commercial Management hall about to leave.

All eyes were on Ye Wenhan wherever he went now.

Other than Guanshu and his assistant, he would also be accompanied by a personal bodyguard.

Zhang He rushed forward, “Mr. Ye!”

Ye Wenhan’s bodyguard prevented Zhang He from approaching.

Getting emotional, she said, “Mr. Ye, I have something I want to say to you.”

Ye Wenhan frowned slightly, directly asked in front of many employees in the hall, “Who are you?”

Zhang He was taken aback, then replied, “I am Zhang He, Mr. Ye, I am Zhang He …”

“Zhang He?” Ye Wenhan didn’t seem to remember her at all.

“I was with Li Sheng and Manager Chu before …” Zhang He was bringing up irrelevant issues.

Ye Wenhan’s face darkened, “Sorry, I really don’t know you.”

Zhang He looked at Ye Wenhan.

That’s impossible.

Li Sheng had said, Mr. Ye remembered her deeply.

It seemed as though Ye Wenhan’s assistant whispered something in his ear.

Ye Wenhan seemed to have remembered.

He said, “I know who you are now.”

A sense of joy crept up inside Zhang He.

She knew that Mr. Ye can’t possibly not know her.

Ye Wenhan said, “The flaw in this planning department, about the land bidding document was caused by you. I am on my way to handle this matter right now.”

“Mr. Ye, there may have been a problem in the middle process. I am always careful in my work and would definitely not make such a big mistake. Please, Mr. Ye, help me investigate this.”

Ye Wenhan laughed.

He said nothing at that moment.

Ye Wenhan’s assistant, Cheng Zheng, stepped forward, his face a bit icy, “Zhang He, Mr. Ye has lots to deal with every day. He was already busy, and now you want him to investigate your matter? Are you afraid that Mr. Ye doesn’t have enough troubles in a day? Besides, if your work has flaws, it’s your role to solve it yourself. You don’t feel it’s too self-important to ask Mr. Ye to help you…”

“Assistant Cheng.” Ye Wenhan stopped him.

Cheng Zheng immediately responded respectfully.

“Treat the employees a little better,” Ye instructed.

“Yes,” he said, quickly bowing in agreement.

“You handle it well, I’ll wait for you in the car.” Ye Wenhan gave a quiet command.

Cheng Zheng nodded respectfully.

Ye Wenhan left with his team.

Zhang He wanted to follow but was stopped by Cheng Zheng.

Zhang He glared at Cheng Zheng, “Mr. Ye just told you to treat me better!”

“Mr. Ye said to treat employees better. But you, who have been dismissed, aren’t considered an employee!”

“I’ve been framed!” Zhang He insisted.

Certainly, someone was intentionally setting her up!

Definitely!

“I know.” Cheng Zheng leaned close to Zhang He and whispered in a tone only they could hear, “Because I did it.”

Stunned, Zhang He could hardly move.

“And you should be very clear whose arrangement I am following. So don’t humiliate yourself, get out of here now!”

Having spoken, Cheng Zheng quickly walked away.

Zhang He stood there aghast, watching Cheng Zheng walk away.

How was it possible?

How could Mr. Ye be the one to let her go?

She was on Mr. Ye’s side, she was helping Mr. Ye’s cause!

She stood there for a long time, as if paralyzed, until the chuckling from the hall echoed in her head.

“Who does she think she is, to actually have the audacity to ask Mr. Ye to help her with a task?”

“Yeah, who is Mr. Ye? What status does she have? Ridiculous!”

“I heard it’s because she can’t accept being fired.”

“She doesn’t know her own limits. She deserves to be fired!”

Listening to the voices coming and going, a sense of collapse came over Zhang He.

She could feel those unfriendly, mocking looks, which made her feel overwhelmingly humiliated at that moment.

She charged back to the office.

The news of her actively seeking out Ye Wenhan and being rejected had spread throughout the agency, and everyone was looking at her differently.

Most people found her presumptuous.

At the moment, the HR department had someone on her spot in the office, they coldly said, “Here is your dismissal notice, please sign in these places and then leave the Commercial Management agency.”

Everything happened so fast, as if it had already been prepared for long.

Suppressing her emotions, Zhang He signed.

“Be sure to pack all your belongings and leave today. We will clean up your spot first thing tomorrow. Any belongings left behind will be thrown away.”

Zhang He gritted her teeth.

The HR staff offered no more commentary, took the signed documents, and walked away.

Zhang He had a lot of belongings, she packed several large bags herself.

Zhang He turned to a colleague who had always been on good terms with her and asked, “Can you help me with this?”

“Sorry, I have to report some work.” Then she walked away.

Zhang He attempted to get others to help her.

Almost no one was willing. If they didn’t say they were busy, they flatly refused.

People can be so cold. She felt their ruthlessness for the first time.

She had to carry all her belongings and leave by herself.

There were many things, and it took her a long time to pack everything, just walking towards the elevator, when she was abruptly bumped by an employee and all her things were scattered on the floor.

The worst part was that the employee didn’t seem remorseful at all and simply said, “Sorry, I didn’t see you.”

Then he walked away.

Zhang He was at her limit.

She was already unable to accept all that had happened to her today, and now she had to swallow such a humiliation. She screamed at the man, “You pick it up!”

The man paused then turned around, clearly enunciating each word, “Pick it up yourself!”

“You pick it up!” Zhang He’s voice was loud.

All the people in the office were looking at her.

“What can you do about it?” The employee mocked, “What now, going to ask Mr. Ye to help you again?”

The moment his words were out.

The other employees laughed quietly.

They all knew what he meant!

They were all mocking her presumptuousness and her overstepping.

Zhang He suddenly erupted and rushed towards the man, pushing him, almost knocking him to the ground.

But the employee wasn’t easy to deal with, and the two started fighting.

In the end, Commercial Management’s security guards threw Zhang He directly out of the office, scattering her stuff everywhere.

On the verge of breakdown, Zhang He stood ranting at the entrance of Commercial Management, seemingly unable to comprehend what was happening!

Eventually, the police were called to the scene, and they took Zhang He away. It was a total mess!

Song Zhizhi just stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Commercial Management Building, watching the scene unfolding at the entrance.

She knew someone would make sure Zhang He got what she deserved.

She watched as the police car departed.

She retrieved her gaze, turned around, picked up her bag, and notified her secretary, “I have to step out for a while. If anyone is looking for me, call me.”

“Yes, Ms. Song.”

Song Zhizhi rode in the car driven by Wei Ziming, heading directly to the prison in the eastern suburb.

She was going to meet Chu Qin.

Of course, she didn’t go out of kindness, but because there was information she want to extract from Chu Qin.

After going through all the usual procedures…

Song Zhizhi met Chu Qin.

When she saw Chu Qin, Song Zhizhi was somewhat surprised.

She expected Chu Qin to be in dire straits, but she didn’t anticipate it would be this bleak.

Her hair had been buzzed short, her face was deathly pale, her lips were ashen and even cracked. The prison guard had to coax her out, and her eyes flickered with fear at any sudden movement, clear signs that it wasn’t an act.

She looked at the once arrogant Chu Qin, and less than a week’s time had transformed her into a lifeless shell, stripped of all vitality. She seemed like a living dead, existing in absolute despair.

Chu Qin’s eyes flickered nervously, unable to look anyone directly in the face.

She was obviously terrified.

This fear was an instinct, the innate thought that she would be hurt again.

“I assumed you’d be suffering, but I didn’t expect you’d be reduced to this state. You surprised me,” Song Zhizhi said.

It was as if only then did Chu Qin raise her head to look at Song Zhizhi, and she said, “You must be very pleased now.”

“No, I’m fully aware that you are just a pawn. My real target is Ye Wenhan. Your fate doesn’t really matter to me,” Song Zhizhi stated bluntly. As Chu Qin was now useless, there was no need to hide anything from her.

“So to sum it up, you never paid attention to me in the first place,” Chu Qin said sarcastically.

She once thought Song Zhizhi cared about her existence.

She really overestimated herself.

“I didn’t come here to mock you. I feel that your current state is punishment enough. I don’t want to waste our time. So I’ll ask you, in all this time you’ve spent with Ye Wenhan, did you keep any evidence of his crimes?” Song Zhizhi asked.

She didn’t want to keep going in circles with Ye Wenhan.

If there was a shortcut, why wouldn’t she take it?!

Chu Qin said, “No. That’s why I hate myself and regret everything! I’ve always believed Ye Wenhan truly cared for me. I even deluded myself into thinking he was genuine. I was so enamored by him that I didn’t want to secretly keep evidence of his crimes! I was stupid to the extreme.”

That was indeed extremely foolish.

“However, I can understand.” Song Zhizhi looked at her.

Chu Qin looked back at her, with eyes full of disbelief.

Song Zhizhi didn’t seem to be lying at this moment.

Song Zhizhi said, “Because I too experienced Ye Wenhan’s false pretenses, and it was as painful as yours. However, I was luckier than you, as god gave me a chance to retaliate against him!”

Chu Qin didn’t understand what Song Zhizhi was talking about.

Song Zhizhi didn’t bother to explain further. She stood up and said, “Since you don’t have what I want, I won’t waste any more time here. Take care.”

After this,

She wouldn’t waste her time visiting her again.

“Song Zhizhi.” Chu Qin suddenly called out to her.

In an agitated tone.

Song Zhizhi slightly reacted.

“Can I ask you a favor?” Chu Qin pleaded.

Song Zhizhi hesitated for two seconds and then sat back down.

She never expected that Chu Qin, one day, would beg her like this; she always thought Chu Qin was too prideful to ever stoop so low in front of her.

“I don’t want to live anymore.” Chu Qin said in voice so low, it didn’t sound like a joke.

Song Zhizhi looked at her.

“I really can’t go on. Please help me.” Chu Qin looked at Song Zhizhi, her eyes filled with desperation.

Song Zhizhi did not respond.

Chu Qin’s eyes were red with tears, “You have no idea how hard it is for me in here, Ye Wenhan is a monster, he’s not a man! I became his scapegoat, and even though I’m in this state now, he still refuses to let me go. He uses every means to torment me, treating me less than human! Except for my face, my whole body is covered in wounds, not just surface wounds. He lets the people inside here insult me, whether it’s the inmates or the guards, I’ve been tormented to the point of fear by them. I really see no purpose in living, I beg you, please help me…”

Chu Qin’s emotions which she had been holding back, were slowly crumbling.

She was trying hard to control herself, scared that if she truly released her emotions, she might have to face another bout of torment worse than death.

Song Zhizhi certainly could not underestimate Ye Wenhan’s sadism.

Thinking about the past life, the horrific deeds Ye Wenhan had done to their family, she fully believed in Chu Qin’s unbearable treatment inside there.

“In the end, I think I am really pitiful. I was born in a family that is superior to most people. From a young age, my father taught me to be better than others in everything. I worked hard and was ambitious, I always thought I was better than everyone else, I looked down on many people. But in the end, I ended up in such a terrible state, I ended up living so miserably, so humbly, even in the end, the only person I could ask for help is the person I hate the most in my life, my sworn enemy, and those whom I thought loved me, my father, my kin, including Ye Wenhan, I thought I was sincere to them, but they abandoned me and mistreated me so much!” Tears trickled down Chu Qin’s face drop by drop.

All her vulnerabilities were laid bare in front of Song Zhizhi.

You have to know, Chu Qin’s pride is indeed much stronger than most people, and she wouldn’t back down to anyone even at death, and yet this moment, she lowered her head. You can only imagine how unbearable her life has been.

She said, “Apart from you, I really don’t know who else can help me. Song Zhizhi, I beg you to let me die, my life has been truly tragic, I don’t want to continue suffering from physical and mental torment. I don’t want to go mad every time I think about what I have done in the past, I don’t want to experience all of these any longer, I want to end it all quickly!”

Song Zhizhi looked at her indifferently.

She watched Chu Qin’s life, in the end, filled with regret.

She got up and left without promising her anything.

Chu Qin also knew that Song Zhizhi had no reason to help her.

Her face streaked with tears, she laughed.

She laughed whilst watching Song Zhizhi, looking glamorous as ever, even though she had become thinner, her mental state was hundred times better than her own.

In the end, she had lost.

Even though she had always rejected admitting it, she had to accept the fact that she was indeed not as good as Song Zhizhi.

She couldn’t rival her in any aspect.

Now being looked down upon by Song Zhizhi, she submitted wholeheartedly.

Song Zhizhi ignored Chu Qin’s emotions, she left the prison.

Sat in the car back to the Commercial Management Building.

She appeared somewhat silent.

It wasn’t that she sympathized with Chu Qin, just feeling a little melancholic.

The ordeal Chu Qin was going through reminded her of her past life, where her own family was driven to ruin, and it was also all orchestrated by Ye Wenhan.

She felt a bit moody.

Wei Ziming looked at her through the rear-view mirror, sensing her oppression since she got on the car.

He asked, “What’s wrong?”

Song Zhizhi’s eyes flickered, and she smiled, “Nothing, I just thought of some unhappy things.”

“If it’s something unhappy, why think about it?”

“Because…” it’s inescapable!

She vowed to stop at nothing in this life, until she avenged Ye Wenhan, causing him to lose everything and die a bad death!

The car stopped at the Commercial Management Building.

Song Zhizhi returned to her office.

After returning, she sat in her office chair, silently watching the view of Jin City outside the window.

Scenes of Chu Qin kept reappearing in her mind.

That woman wouldn’t be able to see such a scene for the rest of her life.

40 years, a 40 year prison sentence, she would be 70 years old upon release, what kind of sight would it be then?!

Song Zhizhi didn’t feel like working at all.

She just sat there in a daze, until everyone finished work and left.

She slowly got up, almost all the employees had left.

When Song Zhizhi left, she went to Chu Qin’s office.

The office had been cleared out by someone, and now another plan department manager was working inside. She stayed in the office for quite a while, looking to see if there were any hidden cameras. This was the place where Chu Qin and Li Sheng had talked last time. Ji Baijian only got the audio, but Ye Wenhan got the video, Ye Wenhan had said he installed a camera. It should be gone now anyway!

She examined the place thus, not really to find a hidden camera, but just to put on a show for others.

A long time later,

She left.

Then she got off work, seemingly nonchalant, and took a car home.

At the Ye’s family villa at this moment.

Ye Wenhan was holding the phone, his face grave, “Song Zhizhi went to see Chu Qin today?”

“Yes, Mr. Ye, they talked for a long time. The early warning mentioned that they were whispering so we couldn’t hear clearly what they said. But judging from their conversation, Chu Qin showed some trust in Song Zhizhi and Yin Qin.”

“After everyone left work today, did Song Zhizhi go to Chu Qin’s old office to look for something?”

“Yes, she looked around for about half an hour. But it seems that she didn’t find anything, as she has already left.”

“Okay, I got it. Keep monitoring for me.”

“Yes.”

Ye Wenhan turned to face Qian Guanshu.

“It seems that Song Zhizhi is still persistent, trying to find evidence against us from Chu Qin,” Ye Wenhan reported.

“Song Zhizhi wouldn’t so easily give up given the slight progress she’s made in getting closer to us,” Qian Guanshu sneered, somewhat scornful.

“So, what’s our next move? Just let her get close to Chu Qin?”

“Are you lacking confidence?” Qian Guanshu asked.

Ye Wenhan hesitated, “I believe that Chu Qin certainly wouldn’t leave any evidence, but who knows…”

“Then let’s do something to put an end to our worries. We can’t be so restless every day,” Qian Guanshu decided promptly.

“What do you mean?” Wenhan asked.

Qian Guanshu uttered word by word, “Kill Chu Qin!”

Ye Wenhan stared at him.

“There’s nothing we can’t do. We’ll find a way to let Chu Qin die in prison, and Song Zhizhi will naturally give up on finding evidence from him,” Qian Guanshu said ruthlessly.

“Yes.” Wenhan immediately nodded.

For this woman, Chu Qin, he had no feelings of affection or concern.

“By the way, what about Chu Zhaotian?” Wenhan asked.

“Contact Weng Cheng, let him release some negative news about Chu Zhaotian, and use this opportunity to drive him out of the Commercial Management Organization! Chu Zhaotian is of no use to us anymore!”

“Do we need a replacement?” Wenhan asked.

“No rush,” Qian Guanshu said, “Let’s use this opportunity to take back all the power of the Chief Position, so if there are any changes, we can control the overall situation. If the power is in the hands of others, who knows if they will be bribed.”

“Understood,” Ye Wenhan sneered.

“How is your health now?” Qian Guanshu changed the subject.

Wenhan seemed a little embarrassed.

“Although you managed to suppress the news and no one is discussing your health condition, it’s still widely known across the country that you have physical issues!”

Ye Wenhan’s face darkened.

It was all Song Zhizhi.

It was all this woman, Song Zhizhi!

It was infuriating!

Qian Guanshu said, “Take good care of your health. Our family still needs you to carry on our lineage! The most important thing is that we must get Jun Mingxi!”

“I will definitely do my best to treat my body.”

“Song Zhizhi is really smart,” Qian Guanshu said, gritting his teeth, “She exposed your health condition to everyone, thus protecting her brother’s girlfriend, Jun Mingxi, and ensuring that you can’t ally with anyone else. Directly speaking, you can’t increase our influence through marriage, especially alliance with the official family!”

Wenhan’s face also became extremely grim.

“Let’s not talk about it now.” Qian Guanshu didn’t want to think about it anymore, anyway, the Song family would end up as prisoners sooner or later. “Just take care of your health first, and we’ll deal with the rest step by step.”

“Yes.”

Ye Wenhan nodded. Even though he verbally agreed, his patience with Song Zhizhi had reached its limit.

If he didn’t kill Song Zhizhi, he would never have peace!

Song Zhizhi arrived home.

Ji Baijian was waiting for her in the living room.

As soon as she opened the door, Tank wagged his tail and approached her, trying to please her.

Song Zhizhi patted Tank’s head.

Ji Baijian also appeared at the door at this moment.

As Song Zhizhi stood up after playing with Tank, her body was suddenly restrained and then she was kissed by someone.

Song Zhizhi couldn’t resist and pushed Ji Baijian away, “Ji Baijian.”

Her cheeks were a bit red, “I haven’t had dinner yet.”

Ji Baijian held Song Zhizhi’s hand and headed to the dining room together.

Ji Baijian reheated dinner for her.

They dined together.

It was inexplicably warm.

Ji Baijian supplied Song Zhizhi with plenty of food, and her small plate instantly turned into a small mountain.

“I’m not that hungry,” Song Zhizhi protested.

“Eat it all.”

“Why?”

“Don’t you want to put on some weight?” Ji Baijian said.

“Oh.” Remembering what he said earlier, Song Zhizhi was a bit upset, “So, you really do mind.”

“…” He didn’t mind.

He just wanted to nurture her body well so she could bear him a chubby son.

He didn’t believe that he wouldn’t produce any fertile seeds.

Thinking this, he gave Song Zhizhi another bowl of soup, placing the full bowl of soup in front of her, “Drink this too.”

“Men are really realistic,” Song Zhizhi grumbled.

Considering Ji Baijian was turned off by her slim body.

It was just slightly smaller than before, there was no rush to gain weight!

At this rate, she’ll become as fat as a pig.

But at that moment, Song Zhizhi obediently ate all the food that Ji Baijian had served her.

At the dinner table.

Ji Baijian’s phone rang.

Ji Baijian looked at the caller ID and answered, “Yin Qin.”

“Ji Baijian, I hope I’m not disturbing you this early!” The always-energetic voice of Yin Qin blared from the other end.

“No.”

“Today, I took my son to his pediatrician, I specifically asked the doctor, making a baby is not about frequent attempts, we need to relax and take it slow. Look at me, it happened for us on the first try, and now my son is almost a month old.”

Ji Baijian’s face was slightly dark.

“Alright, I won’t tease you any longer. If it still doesn’t work out, you can come to the hospital for a check-up, don’t force your body. Even though you’re strong, you can’t withstand such stress every day…”

“If there’s nothing else I’m going to hang up.”

“There’s something! There’s something!” Yin Qin urgently said, “My mom said she wants to invite you two for dinner at our place tomorrow. She says she hasn’t seen you for a while and misses your handsome face.”

Ji Baijian was speechless, he coldly acknowledged and promptly hung up.

Song Zhizhi also heard Yin Qin’s loud voice, it was impossible to miss.

She asked, “Did Yin Qin just say ‘making a baby’?”

Similar to having a secret exposed, Ji Baijian was slightly embarrassed and stayed silent.

“Did you ask Yin Qin?”

“I regret it too,” Ji Baijian confessed.

He always felt that having a son was more difficult than imagined! That kid Yin Qin just said it, and it happened.

That’s the good fortune of fools.

“I guess I need to eat more then.” Having said that, Song Zhizhi served herself another bowl of rice.

Ji Baijian watched her.

“I can’t let my husband lose face!” Song Zhizhi declared emphatically.

She must get pregnant with a chubby baby boy soon!
